I couldn't run Microsoft's Threat Modeling Tool on my Mac, so I rebuilt it for the browser
My cybersecurity course teaches threat modelling with Microsoft's Threat Modeling Tool (TMT). You draw a data-flow diagram of a system, and TMT generates a list of STRIDE threats from rules in a template, then you triage each one. There was one problem: TMT only runs on Windows. I'm on a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro that already struggles, and running Windows in a virtual machine on it was not going to…
During a cybersecurity course, the author utilized Microsoft's Threat Modeling Tool (TMT) to teach threat modeling through the creation of data-flow diagrams, which subsequently generated a list of STRIDE threats based on predefined rules within a template. However, the tool only functioned on Windows operating systems, causing issues for the author who was using a macOS laptop.
As a result, the author developed ThreatSketch, a browser-based tool that replicated TMT's threat generation capabilities using the same template files, making it accessible on multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
